ng new has stopped working after updating to Angular 6

Question

Today, I updated my angular cli to the latest version and encountered an error that stops me from creating a new Angular project. Following is the error log that I get after

Answer 1

That happened to me, I thought that was a bug I reported it here, it turned out that I had a folder named node_modules on my home directory!

To make sure this is the same issue with you run following commands

npm ls -g @schematics/angular
npm ls @schematics/angular 

If the output of second command contains

npm ERR! extraneous: @schematics/angular@0.6.0 C:\Users\User\node_modules\@angular\cli\node_modules\@schematics\angular

then most likely you have the same issue as it appears that there is a node_modules folder with both the CLI and an old version of @schematics/angular installed locally (C:\Users\User). Remove this to fix this issue.

Please check if it is the case for you too.
